Posting Videos to YouTube

When having learners, or yourself, uploading video projects to YouTube I would encourage you to check the settings for privacy.  A learner was working on a project and found their own video linked to a website they had never come in contact with before.  It is a very strange feeling to find your work somewhere you have never actually been asked to share with before.

An option for sharing using YouTube is to Unlisted so that the projects can only be accessed by those who have the link.  This can be achieved when uploading projects from an iPad or a computer.  Here are step-by-step directions for uploading a video from the iPad.

Sign into your school Google Drive and allow Google to access your account information
Upload the movie file from your iPad to your YouTube Channel
Enter a Title and Description for the project
Select Standard Definition
Enter Tags related to the content area
For Category, select Education

Select Unlisted so that only individuals with the link can view the video.
Then Publish



Also, here are directions for uploading to YouTube from a computer:



Keep these instructions for when you have a video project later!
